    @paviro 200 pictures - aha! Maybe my 13 isnt enough. I can’t use the capture script since i’m on webcam so I took em with my phone and transferred them to the pi. I’ll add more and cross my fingers.

      Well that could also be a cause. You should use the same camera for best results!
      Why shouldn’t you be able to use a webcam with the capture script? I never used it with anything else to be honest :D

          Well the capture script does not have an enforce webcam option. Try to uninstall the picam python module, it will fallback to webcam then.

          To minimize recognition errors the MagicMirror module requires two identical recognitions to be accepted as current user. If your training data is not good enough it could happen that you are never recognized twice in two directly following images -> Always unknown user.

            @paviro thanks for the help. How do I uninstall the picam? Is it just to remove picam.py?

              Nooo! Don’t mess with the module code! I just added an option to force webcam use, checkout the updated code on GitHub :)

                  @paviro Thanks! I’ll add more images and try to recognize my face.
                  But It’s very interesting that facerecognition_tester can identify me only from this three images

                    @paviro thanks!!! 200+ images captured and it’s now working :-) :pray: just need to tweak the threshold to be a bit more forgiving.
